Lonely Planet Author on Bali

Travel.ninemsn.com.au recently published an interview with Ryan Ver Berkmoes – the coordinating author of the Lonely Planet Guide to Bali and Lombok.

Ryan – an old friend and arguably the dean of travel guide book writers, uses the interview to share his thoughts on the trials and tribulations of writing guide books, the joys of inspecting 40 cheap lodging places in a single day, what he like most and least about Bali, his special love of Ubud, and thoughts on Australian tourists.

He also talks about love-lorn lady travelers flocking to Bali inspired by EAT PRAY LOVE and the general “ins and out” of sex tourism in Bali.
